Revealing the keys to the creative process of Le Cor- busier through the Poem of the Right Angle

Abstract

Le Corbusier, who during 1947 and 1953 designed some of the most important architectural and urban works of the 20th century, also developed one of the most interesting artistic creations of his career: the Poem of the Right Angle . In this work, Le Corbusier reflected on aspects related to creation that he had never expressed before. He always attributed to this po em this fundamental role, considering it as a synthesis of his thought and his creative activity. In this sense, this article aims to reveal, through the study of the Poem of the Right Angle, but also through the analysis of his writings, projects, works, drawings and travel notes, that imaginary place that precedes and in which he sits his creative activity. The objective is to know better not only his work, but also aspects about the creative process from which it arises and from his thought .
